Wonderland Tarot review by Tom LeBlanc, CTC

I'm afraid I have a bit of a confession to make.
I undertook the prospect of writing a review of The
Wonderland Tarot with the bias that I

Companion Material: Little white booklet by Christopher Abbey in early editions. Includes a little

"final thoughts" section in the end presents Abbey's
thoughts on both those who view Tarot as an evil tool, and
those who revere it as infallible.
Later editions has a standard little white booklet.
